Dear one,
I love you.
Look at all you're doing.
Look how far you've come.
Look who you've become,
And who you're becoming.
You are blossoming with every misstep,
With every humiliation,
With every error,
And with every regret.
Remember,
Dear one,
These seemingly dreadful mistakes are how you learn.
Just as a muscle must tear and repair to grow stronger,
You must withstand adversity.
You must withstand adversity and overcome.
With the pain of a broken heart,
Allow your tears to wash you clean like a waterfall.
Trust that your torn heart will repair and grow stronger.
With every disappointment,
Every loss,
And every devastation,
No matter how small,
You will heal,
For you are resilient.
You are resilient.
You are resilient.
You are courageous.
You are courageous.
Your courage is witnessed.
Your courage is inspiring.
Your courage is real.
And,
If you need it,
Just for a little while,
It's okay to take a break.
It's okay to retreat.
Seek comfort in the loving embrace of your soul.
Seek comfort in the loving embrace of your soul.
Just for a little while,
It's okay to give yourself permission to curl up,
Pull the covers over,
Be warm,
Be your own comfort.
You are safe.
You are loved.
You are love.
When life isn't easy,
How easy can you be on yourself?
When life isn't easy,
How easy can you be on yourself?
Trust this,
Dear one.
As hard as it may seem,
You are doing it right.
You are doing life right.
It's messy.
It's full of what looks like mistakes.
And yet,
That is.
Learn,
Grow,
And persevere.
And if you need to grieve along the way,
Take some time to do that too.
Know this,
Everything is going to be alright.
Everything is going to be alright.
Everything is going to be alright.
